This past weekend was our annual Mission conference. Our church host numerous missionaries from stateside and overseas agencies. It is always a great time of fellowship with the missionaries and growing time in ones faith. This weekend was no exception. I most admit, i really didn't want to have much to do with the conference, I went to church on Sunday morning and that was it.

On sunday night I work with 8th grade girls. As i was going to my meeting with them, i ran into a friend. We spoke on what all the Lord was doing in her and her husband's lives as they prepare to move overseas and how He had brought them to where they are now. Then she asked me what Adam and I checked on our commitment form. At the end of the conference we have a form we are to complete as a commitment to what we see the Lord showing us through the conference. I told her nothing. Yes, this year we didn't check anything...why, because we needed time. We needed time to not make a decision on emotions, but on the Lords guidance.

So I tell you all this to bring us to today, Tuesday.

The one thing this weekend showed me was I have not been "abiding" in the Lord as I once did. Today, I noticed the series of events that lead me to become a believer in Jesus Christ. Yes, i have always known them, but today they are fresh again. Why? Because I have found myself the past few days abiding in the Lord, and loving it! Wow, how much I have missed spending time in the word, praying and praising with a joyful heart! I love that the Lord sought me out to abide in Him. I love that He has saved me, and even when i stray He is constant, steady, never changing. He knows it all, everything i have been running from and to, but He still loves me. He still calls me to abide in Him, to rest in Him, to proclaim His name. So this weekend....or at least Sunday, set a fire within me. A fire to trust, follow, READ, PRAY, and know that HE will reveal all things in due time...HIS TIME.
